"Alongside Ed van der Elsken's 1956 work Love On the Left Bank, an altogether more staged kind of social document, Brooklyn Gang stands as one of the first in-depth photographic records of rebellious postwar youth culture...Davidson's black-and-white images are cool and evocative, imbued with a sense of time and place that is palpable...Behind the cool facade, though, lay a world of trouble that began to engulf the Jokers as Davidson trailed them...."--From Sean O'Hagan's review, "Joker in the pack: Bruce Davidson's photographs of a Brooklyn gang," The Guardian, 21 June 2010.
